Problems solved by technology

[0006] The following problems exist in the construction of a microbial method that uses plasmids as carriers and bacteria as hosts to detect lead ions: (1) lead is a common highly toxic environmental pollution heavy metal, and most bacteria have a set of pumping mechanisms for harmful heavy metals. Resistant to lead deposits or active forms, so its sensitivity is not high
(2) The research is based on the plasmid as a fluorescent expression carrier. During the passage of the plasmid, there may be defects such as inconsistency in copy number, loss, and high background, resulting in unstable detection results
The detection of lead ions in Aparna needs to be cultivated in LB medium at 37°C for 12 hours. The cycle is too long and the timeliness is poor, which is not conducive to on-site detection.

Abstract

The invention provides a construction method of an Escherichia coli engineering strain for detecting heavy metal lead and a method for detecting lead in a water body. The gene engineering strain provided by the invention is PpbrA-pbrR-PpbrA:DsRed-express2 / E.colideltazntRdeltazntA named as E.coli WMC-008p CGMCC No.9748, wherein zntA and zntR genes are subjected to deletion mutation and inactivation, and a pbr operon from a cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 strain is input to express a red fluorescence protein DsRed-express2. Compared with an Escherichia coli reporter strain containing a reporter plasmid, the engineering strain provided by the invention has the advantages of simplicity and convenience in operation, low fluorescence background value, stable signal and the like. The engineering strain provided by the invention can reflect the bioavailability of lead in the water body and can provide the basis for objectively evaluating the biotoxicity effect of lead in the water body.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a microbiological method for detecting heavy metal lead, in particular to a construction method of Escherichia coli transformed by genetic engineering technology and establishment of a method for detecting lead in water environment. Background technique [0002] With the development of industry and agriculture, many pollutants containing lead ions are discharged into rivers and lakes, polluting soil, water sources and even daily food and vegetables. Lead in the environment mainly comes from various paints, coatings, batteries, smelting, hardware, machinery, electroplating, cosmetics, hair dyes, glazed dishes, tableware, coal, puffed food, water pipes, etc. Studies have found that excessive heavy metal lead is toxic to all living organisms. After the human body absorbs excessive lead, it can accumulate in the vital organs of the human body such as the liver, kidney, and brain. It enters the body through the skin, digestive trac...
